Drawing, painting and fine art

[erinaceus]

Do any mnetters draw or paint, either professionally or as a hobby?

Over the past couple of years I have taken up drawing and painting and am enjoying it a lot. I wondered if any other mnetters also drew or painted, or did other forms of fine art, and fancy a chat. I am strictly amateur and mostly experimenting with different media and subjects at the moment.

Hi E, I enjoy drawing and painting. My preference is more towards expressive than representative styles although I do try and practice some rules of proportion and perspective. I like to work in mixed media with the mainpart being either watercolours or acrylic. Not keen on gouache and never tried oils.

If I was a confident and marvellous painter I would sketch outdoors and then do enormous landscapes - but I am nowhere near that fantasy!
